THANKSGIVING TURKEY
Brine:
2 gallons water
2 cups kosher salt
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 garlic head, split
1 1/2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries
3 bay leaves

1 (10 to 12-pound) turkey
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
1/2 apple, cored and coarsely chopped
1 small parsnip, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small quince, cored and coarsely chopped, optional
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley with stems
1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon juniper berries
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups apple cider
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

In a pot large enough to hold the turkey, combine all of the brine ingredients and stir. Add the turkey to the pot, cover, and refrigerate for 8 to 10 hours. Remove the turkey from the pot, discard the brine, and rinse the turkey thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.

Combine the onion, celery, apple, parsnip, quince, herbs, and spices in a bowl and toss. Spoon into the cavity of the turkey.

Truss the turkey, tying its legs together tightly with kitchen twine. Place the turkey on a roasting rack set in a large roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, place in the oven, and roast for 2 1/2 hours.

Uncover the turkey and reserve the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush the turkey with half of the melted butter and cook for 30 minutes. Brush on the remaining butter and continue cooking for about 1 hour and 15 minutes longer, basting every 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 150 degrees. (The internal temperature will rise 10 degrees while the turkey rests).

Transfer the turkey to a cutting board. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan. Spoon the vegetables from the cavity of the turkey into the pan; cover the turkey loosely with the reserved foil, and let rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the gravy: Add the butter to the roasting pan with the vegetables. Place the pan over medium heat, using 2 burners if necessary. Use a wooden spoon to stir and brown the vegetables lightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cider, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the turkey drippings. Transfer the gravy to a 3-quart saucepan, add the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour any juices that have accumulated around the turkey into the pan and continue cooking for 1 more minute. Season with the salt and pepper. Strain the gravy into a warm sauceboat.

Carve the turkey and serve with gravy.

Roast turkey as usual. Stuff the bird with wild rice stuffing but the true added secret for great turkey flavor is to baste it with grand marnier. Yum!!!!!

Roast turkey as usual. Stuff the bird with sticky rice, raisins and a few kinds of nuts as stuffing - it's delicious! Just a little tip - you need to cook the rice first.

BBQ GARLIC TURKEY
Turn on gas grill to medium. Season Turkey with Salt' Pepper, Garlic, and poultry seasoning. Rub Butter all over Turkey . Take fresh garlic about 8 to 10 pieces pierce turkey and shove clove of garlic inside. Repeat as many times as you like. We like garlic so we use at least 10. Place 8 large carrots on bottom of pan to protect Turkey from burning, place Turkey on top of carrots cover with foil and place in bar-b-que. I just cooked a 17 pound turkey in 3 hour and it falls apart and it is juicy including white meat which is actually hard to keep juicy.

ENJOY the less mess easy, delicious way we eat turkey at my house!

DRUNKEN CHICKEN
1 whole chicken {preferable dead}
1 tall can of your favorite beer {buy a six pack you need something to do while the chicken is getting drunk}
olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
salt and pepper

While the grill is getting hot drink about 1/4 of the can of beer and set the other 3/4 aside. 1/4 needs to be removed so you can add garlic to the can.
Trim some of the fat from the chicken, get rid of the giblets. Rub liberally with your favorite meat rub. I use olive oil, basil, lots of fresh pressed garlic, salt and pepper and a pinch of cayenne, but you can use your favorite blend of seasoning.

Use a can opener to open the top of the can and drop in crushed garlic. Oil the beer can up and place it in the cavity of the chicken so the chicken is standing upright. Cover your grill and cook the chicken until its wings are loose about 2 hrs. Grab the rest of the six pack and enjoy.
